or is that just a myth?
Answer:
its a myth, think about it, your intestines are coated with a thin layer of slimey material, llike saliva, to help your food travel down your intestines and asophagus properly, so what’s there for chewing gum to stick onto for 7years? and why dont people who swallow chewing gum have severe blockages in there system?
Answer:
Bubble gum is NOT digestable and comes out of you exactly as you swallowed it. However, you may not see it when it happens because your excrement covers it over time. It takes at least four days for undigested food/products to go through your intestines, like coins. But bubble gum takes a little bit longer, not seven years longer, but longer due to it's texture.
Answer:
No, it'sa complete myth. Why should it stay in your system any longer than food. It's true it isn't digested, but it will pass through just by the peristalsis of your gut, the same as any other foreign body you swallow, like a bone or a coin.
Don't worry.
Answer:
it melts then decomposes, even though it's a polymer, but it's classified as gum polymers, it's little enough to decompose.
